At the end of January, I once again had the opportunity to represent Comerica at the Houston Touchdown Club's Comerica Bank Sportsmanship Luncheon, one of my favorite annual events. This event honors 5A, 4A, 3A and private schools that have been highest ranked on multiple dimensions of sportsmanship by the refs. The refs not only evaluate the players and coaches, but also the booster groups and parents.
The ceremony honors those who play the game with integrity. Coaches are well known for their competitiveness and drive and many awards just recognize skill. I've been delighted by the number of coaches in the past 7 years who have shared pride in winning this award and highlighting this success with their respective players, staff and schools.
It is always invigorating to hear competitive coaches share their pride in being honored for inspiring their players to play the game fairly and well.
The Golden Rule serves us well in athletics and in life as we treat others as we'd like to be treated.

Do Unto Others
Most of us grew up hearing that we should treat others the way we would want to be treated. That's a great starting point. The more we know about the other party, the more we should try to treat them as they want to be treated. The two standards aren't always the same. However, when we act with high integrity, attempting to do the right thing, with respect for ourselves and others, we have a great basis for a strong relationship.

Live the Life You Have!
I always benefit when I attend our Sunday church service, and this week was no exception. The lesson conveyed from the Gospel applies to all of us regardless of beliefs - "Live the life you have with integrity."
We can all wish for, dream about, anticipate or prepare for another reality. But, we all have the hand that we were most currently dealt. Those of us who choose to love the life we have can positively impact ourselves, our families and those with whom we interact.
Regardless of our jobs, we should do them to the best of our abilities.
